To add on to he said about BMW, in terms of dealer service it will be hard to beat. The cars are very reliable and will suit your needs perfectly, especially the X5. If you do go that route consider going to Classic BMW here in Dallas. Its a few hours from you, but in my opinion very worth it. Their service departments are phenomenal and it sounds like you need a good customer experience after the **** ORR put you through. My dad's 650 had an electrical issue that no one could diagnosis properly and they just kept going at it; gave him a 650 from their lot that only had like 3000 miles on it to compensate while his was in there. Normally they would just give you a 3 series or something, but they let him use a nearly new 650 they had on the lot because no one at all could figure out what was wrong. He put close to 1000 miles on the loaner in the time it took them to fix his car and they were fine with it all in the name of keeping the customer happy due to their inability to fix a problem.

I may well go with that after 3-5 more years, but for the intermediate future, I'd like something in the $20K +-$2500 range. That should be nice, serviceable, and last 5-7 years if it's a normal experience. Yes, crap happens, but it's crazy that it was undiagnosable, the company threw me under the bus, etc. I mean, if my car had some issues and they sorted it out and shoot my hand and it didn't cost me anything, yeah, that's life, but that's not how I feel that it went. Currently: --2009-2010 Grand Jeep Cherokee V8/AWD/Limited or Overland (I like the amenities and the AWD system it uses and the 357hp V8) --FJC (I like the looks) --Toyota 4Runner (I have never seen one die. Never heard of one dying.) That's kindof where I'm at. |

Discussion, good and bad, should be available for future purchasers to evaluate their decision. Frankly, you'd have less downers owning the car if they were privy to certain members experiences, and you'd probably get less of these threads in the long run. Banning members and deleting threads for reasonable discourse on the issues they've had doesn't fix the issues with the car--it just prevents others from learning from them. Do you remember when (on this forum) members were getting dogged for complaining about their steering lock issues? I think a couple of those early threads got nasty... |

http://www.the370z.com/images/370zfo...and%20tear.JPG http://www.the370z.com/images/370zfo...and%20tear.JPG I was actually shocked how much it covered. It's actually 1990 parts that's covered. So, minus the everyday wear and tear parts (tires, breake pads/rotors, clutch etc), this Gold Preferred covers everything and this is straight from oem NIssan that literally extends that bumper to bumper coverage. If tomm my engine blows up or transmission takes a crap, I don't have to spend 1 penny. Whether dealer spends $10,000 or $20,000 dollars, I don't pay anything. Gold preferred at a glance: https://owners.nissanusa.com/content...plans/Gold.pdf Parts in detail that's covered (first column): http://www.vadennissanprotectionplan...chart-2013.pdf Quote:

The GJC now is a Benz platform, but I'm not sure about '09-'10. I average 22mpg with my Z. The 16-18 that I project with the GJC, esp. Being able to run 87 in it won't bother much much. I like the FJC looks, but they seem to have a near cult appeal to those who do, and the used prices are high, imo. |

Also, I think early 3rd Gen Durango's (2011s) are already in the mid-low 20's depending on the options. V8/AWD combo's exist and the styling is way better than the 2nd Gen. |
